Firefox product release manager Asa Dotzler is using the Spread Firefox blog to accuse TechWeb of lying about the Firefox 1.0 downloads. He also says CNET (which has since corrected their story, according to a comment on Dotzler's post) is "falling down on the job, too, claiming that it took us five days to hit 1 million downloads." Asa continues...
"This so-called journalist needs to hear from you all too. Please quote C|Net's original article that refutes this new one about as directly as anything else. The incompetence just amazes me."
Blogs are the new letters to the editor.
(UPDATE 5/4/05: TechWeb Editor Stuart Glascock has informed me that as soon as the news site learned about this error they immediately corrected the story the same day it went out.)
